he 57-year-old model and actress has teamed with a former L'Oreal executive to launch a range of skin care and anti-ageing products, which have helped her maintain her own youthful complexion.

Christie said "We're going to build the company rapidly. I've had many years in the industry and I've worked with all the top make-up artists, so I'll be using tips I've learned along the way."

Christie is also keen to distance herself from celebrity skincare ranges which are little more than endorsements, and stress how much work she has put into each of the products. She writes on her website: "I founded the company and have taken great time and care to bring together the beauty secrets that I personally believe have helped me maintain my youthful appearance throughout the decades.

"Together we have been able to bring my vision to life and develop anti-aging products that really work. I am happy to say that they are 100 per cent Natural, Vegan and Cruelty free. I hope you choose to give them a try and see why I am very proud to have my name on these products."
